She puts simple home ideas to work on everyday problems, starting with an easy way to identify chargers before they disappear and inexpensive hooks for organizing a closet. Along the way, she shares ...

Last week I revealed the sneaky physics behind the “joule thief,” an electrical circuit that lets you squeeze more energy out of seemingly dead batteries. The key, it turned out, was a clever pairing ...

It was only six months old, and now it needs a full refurb because of a hardware issue. Luckily, I’d held onto my old workhorse, so I still had a functioning machine while the new one went into the ...

Atomically thin semiconductors could enable dramatically smaller and more efficient chips, but a stubborn problem at the boundary between materials has limited their performance. Researchers have now ...

In July 2026, social media posts claimed U.S. President Donald Trump confused the words "transistor" and "transgender" during a speech criticizing the CHIPS and Science Act, a 2022 bipartisan effort ...

Researchers showed each giraffe the contents of several containers, which held varying numbers of carrots, then added extra pieces to one of them. Afterward, the animal would choose a container to get ...

Estate-planning attorneys often hear some version of the same request: “We just want something simple.” The request makes sense. Clients can feel overwhelmed by legal terminology, tax rules, fiduciary ...

IBM on Thursday unveiled the first chip created using its latest semiconductor technologies, one that holds nearly 100 billion transistors in a fleck of hardware no bigger than your fingernail.

Drive nearly anywhere in Seattle and you’ll see tents surrounded by debris, open drug use, and people hunched over on sidewalks or huddled in bus shelters. Most of us agree it’s unacceptable for ...

As the global semiconductor industry enters the so-called 2-nanometer process era, the actual size of transistors—the core components of semiconductor chips—still remains above 10 nm. How much smaller ...
